Welcome to DavidHGreen.com

O Lord God, 

Thou hast made me a pastor 

and teacher in the Church.  

Thou seest how unfit I am to administer 

rightly this great responsible office; 

and had I been without Thy aid and counsel 

I would surely have ruined it all long ago. 

Therefore do I invoke Thee. 

How gladly do I desire 

to yield and consecrate 

my heart and mouth to this ministry!  

I desire to teach the congregation.  

I, too, ever to learn and 

to keep Thy Word my constant companion 

and to meditate thereupon earnestly. 

     Use me as Thy instrument in Thy service.  

Only do not Thou forsake me, 

for if I am left to myself, 

I will certainly bring it all to destruction. 

     Amen.
